I think I miss the part where Pinterest got burned by Facebook? Seems like engagement just dropped off (and to far higher levels than pre-FB). How's that Facebook's fault in any way?

Facebook shut down a big component of their Open Graph integration: the spammy auto-publishing. The decline followed shortly after. https://twitter.com/#!/rabois/status/194259967816105984
